Ghost Incident?

July 29, 2007

In the first hour, Dennis Cole, editor of Steeleville Ledger, shared details from a bizarre train incident he reported on this week. According to Cole, two railroad engineers on a freight train passing through Dowell, IL reported seeing a person laying on the tracks. The subject sat up and looked at the two engineers as the train hit him, Cole explained. Authorities searched for four hours but found no trace of a body, blood or clothing, he continued. Upon further investigation, Cole discovered that a man was hit and killed at the same spot in 1941.
